58107, sistah's only means
Posted by ASIEM, Sun Jun-25-06 12:44 AM
little girls havin babies
just to keep the maker
children raised in poverty
makiin insignia on walls
while bullets splatter jus
2 keep rep's nuttin matter

bitches come n go
a po nigga's anthem
hustlin aint game
just bait for imposters
ridin high on distorted minds

from the Ass a new class is born
tawkin bout down under
read black images
everywhere a new dawn
gangsta reel das wut dey die for
a movie a clip a 30 second blip

nations born to die blind
no mark made in time
while another child born is a...
sistah's only means
to survive???

this is still happnin in 2006

This piece is especially amazing because it hits home with me. I 23 with no kids,and It is almost like black women are expected to have babies as babies. It's sick. Incredible. You have inspired a piece. It's comin soon

Be Blessed,
Poetic

written a few days short of a year ago and I originally thought sistah's took offense to it but i see the pain in seeing something everyday while not making the same mistake is still hard. looking forward to that inspired piece.
i had not replied to this before thinking it would die in committee lol again a grave digger photo has brought back to life another thought gone by.
and yes mimi invisible and the best part i am always grateful for your words.

That's how these problems and issues keep repeating themselves.
